Recommendation: ACCUMULATE (Maintained), Last Done: US$0.695

Target Price: US$0.84, Analyst: Natalie Ong

– Acquisition of three assets located in high-growth Sun Belt and magnet cities of Phoenix and Portland will increase exposure to tech and healthcare tenants from 9.5% to 12.8%.

– DPU accretion of 4.4% based LTV of 59% with potential 9.0-14.7% upside from under market rents in next major renewal cycle in 2024.
